Building a leprechaun trap for St Patricks Day
Building a Leprechaun trap for St Patricks Day is always tricky. As St Patrick’s day is just around the corner, we thought it is a perfect time to try and catch a Leprechaun (and find the pot of gold). The idea is to design a trap for them the night before St Patricks Day, in the hope that you will wake up and find your very own Leprechaun who can lead you straight to his pot of gold- as a bribe for his release. They are very rich because they earn good money from their shoemaking business, where they make shoes for fairies. Each Leprechaun has a pot of gold and they hide it in places only they can reach. The end of the rainbow is the most famous example. Some folklore stories say that a Leprechaun must grant three wishes in exchange for freedom. What wishes would you wish for? We’d definitely wish for a super duper climbing frame.

Sensory Swings for kids with disabilities
In recent years, sensory swings for kids with disabilities, have been widely adopted in therapy. Sensory swings especially help people on the autism spectrum, kids with Asperger’s syndrome or kids with a sensory processing disorder. These swings have many therapeutic benefits. Kids with these disabilities often find it difficult to process their movements and movements around them. This is called a vestibular dysfunction. Most of us are aware of our five senses (hearing, touch, smell, sight, and taste). However, the sixth important sense which is often forgotten is the vestibular sense (the movement sense). This is responsible for how we process stimuli around us and navigate our bodies. Continue reading “Sensory Swings for kids with disabilities”
STT savings club launched
We’re delighted that our STT savings club is now launched. Kickstart the new year with STT Savers Club and create a memorable childhood for your kids with only a little investment each month. The main focal point of any childhood is the outdoor play structure, whether it is a treehouse, swing or playhouse, they provide an experience kids will remember and look back fondly as adults. You are not just investing in a new toy or gimmick, you are investing in their wellbeing. In Ireland an unthinkable amount of money is spent on meaningless children’s toys which keep them entertained for less than a week until they are just tossed into the corner or added to the pile of forgotten toys stored in the press with cob webs forming on them.
